Post-sleeve Gastrectomy Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Prediction

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to identify a predictive model for worsening of preexisting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or development of de novo GERD after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) by using EndoFLIP, upper endoscopy and esophageal manometry to assess patients preoperatively in a discovery cohort.  This prospective predictive model will then identify sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for prediction of worsening or de novo GERD.
